I live in Minnesota. I love the outdoors, and just about any activity one can do outside. Favorites are biking, hiking, canoeing, golfing, and I'm starting to take up fishing. I teach physical education at an elementary school - which is an incredible job! I also coach volleyball to young female athletes - it's also an incredible job....I'm pretty lucky. My life can be pretty crazy at times between work, parenting, coaching, and regular daily tasks...leaving little time for cooking. When I do have time to cook - I love it!!!! I would still consider myself a wee beginner - but love it none the less. I'm passionate about promoting physical exercise and eating healthy for kids and people of all ages. Pet peeves would be smokers who sit outside a restaurant or store or airport and chain smoke...polluting the air that the rest of us have to pass through.
